I woke
the morning
for it had slept in
still in bed
and I too keen
…waiting
to turn its head
I gave
a nudge
it gave
a grudge
and rolled over
the other way
in bed
That night
I kept my dream
while people slept
I dreamt
ignoring
the day
come the
morning
the sun
stood still
of it’s own will
and I, falling
In hope for light
and life
I dreamt this dream
and wept
a stream of sleep
while wailing
many a day
in mourning
I watched
my defeat to
keep the
dawn of day
hiding away
dying
In pursuit of dreamlands and a better day
